Clay Holmes has emerged as the Mets' ace with a 1.75 ERA, dominating opponents with his sinker and effective pitching strategy.
Since July 1, his ERA has ballooned to 5.09. From the start, many wondered if he would be able to hold up over an entire season. His late-season decline shows he still needs to build his arm strength. However, fortunately for New York, he was once an elite reliever, and he can make the transition back far easier than most starting pitchers.
